Speaking of the joys of London, it’s 1 degree outside and yet it is toasty warm in here.  I’m wearing shorts.  No insulation?  Never again.

This American Life is a weekly audio podcast, each telling a few stories around a common theme.  Don’t let the name put you off.  It’s a good alternative to TV – we have had a few evenings here where we’ve listened to one of these, instead of yet another episode of a medical drama (although I am thankful my flatmates have given up on Grey’s Anatomy.)  It’s somehow nicer listening to stories than having to keep your eyes affixed on an object, something most of us do all day in our work anyway.  They run at an hour long, each story weighing in at roughly 10-20 minutes.
